the foul line » AL MVP http://www.thefoulline.com thinking outside the box score Sat, 04 Feb 2012 21:46:44 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 These are a few of my favorite things http://www.thefoulline.com/2007/08/there-are-few-things-in-this-crazy/ http://www.thefoulline.com/2007/08/there-are-few-things-in-this-crazy/#comments Tue, 28 Aug 2007 14:47:00 +0000 Dave http://foulline.mousefreak.com/these-are-a-few-of-my-favorite-things/ There are a few things in this crazy world of ours that I truly enjoy, like the sound of my children laughing and going to Disney World with my family. But what I might like best of all is what happened Monday night: I watched the New York Yankees lose 16-0 to the Detroit Tigers.

Oh, how the mighty have fallen. It use to be you could spend 200 million dollars on ballplayers and assure yourself a trip to the postseason. Those days seem to be over. With a geriatric pitching staff, a manager who seems to be on life support (Seriously, has anyone checked for a pulse on Joe Torre lately?), and the 2007 AL MVP with one foot out the door, the Yankees have come full circle, from World Series champions to league laughing stock. It used to be if New York lost by two runs George Steinbrenner would have a fit in the papers. Now George just takes a few happy pills and dreams of the days when the Yankees were not the second best team in New York City. ESPN has it right. The Bronx is Burning.

Add this to the list of my favorite things: The Yankees watching the playoffs from home.
